Introduction: 3D Printed Back Scratcher

I need to scratch my back, but I don't have a tool to do that. I do have a 3D printer. Light bulb!

What you'll need:

  • 3D printer (or a print provider you like)
  • 1/2" x 15" Wooden Dowel
  • Some glue (something that will stick to both the 3D printed material and wood)

I have not built this so the type glue is unknown.

You can find the cad files here:

Step 1: Print the Scratcher End

Print the Scratch end first.

Step 2: Print the Ball End

Print the ball end of the stick. This will give your scratcher a nice finished look, but isn't required for functionality.

Step 3: Attach the Two Ends to Your Dowel

Take the two ends you printed, add a little glue and attach them to either end of your wooden dowel.

Now with two small 3D printed parts you've made a useful tool.
